top 5

Note: I wrote this so long ago now, that it’s almost too late to post it. But screw that – I spent time on this, so up it goes! Plus, regardless of when you may read this, the games on this list will still be good.

2017 was a great year for games – really one of the better years in living memory.

Sure, some of this is copied from my previous post, but most is new.
